UNITED STATES JAMES W. THOMPSON, OF WHITE PLAINS, NEW.YORK.

INCINERATOR.

Application filed. December 12, 1925.

This invention relates to incinerators or receptacles of the type disclosed in Letters Patent of the United States, No. 1,565,120, granted to me December 8, 1925. I

The incinerator or receptacle is especlally adapted forholding refuse or waste material while it is being burned.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide an incinerator of the indicated character which will be more thoroughly efficient and efiectual by virtue of improved structural features.

The nature of the invention and its dis tinguishing features and advantages will appear when the following specification is shown, the incinerator includes an elongated tubular, woven wire body 10 which is produced from a single piece of woven wire of proper length and width. In order to prevent the bo( y 10 as formed from collapsing inwardly and to add rigidity thereto, hoops 11 are provided. The hoops 11are arranged on the inside of the body 10 and are secured thereto at difierent points as at 12 by virtue of the use of short lengths of wire connected at two points to portions of the wire of the body 10 and brought around a portion of the related hoop 11.

In the present instance in lieu of a woven wire bottom, shown in said patent, to con stitute a grate, there is provided a grate 13 preferably of cast iron or equivalent material which instead of being supported directly from the wall of the body is supported by stay rods 14 which eXtendvertically of the wall of the body 10. Each of the rods 14 at its lower end is wrapped around a portion of thegrate 13 as at 15,

and in the present instance two of the rods 14 are attached to the intermediate hoop 11 Serial a... 75,098.

as at 16 by Wrapping a length of a Wire about a portion of the particular hoop and portion respectively of the particular rod nection of the cover 19. The cover 19 beside the hoop 18 includes woven wlre similar to that from which the body 10 is made. At. the side of the cover opposite that having the hinged connections is a retaining clip 21 for holding the cover in a closed position. The clip 21 consists of a single piece of Wire with one end thereof wrapped about the hoop 18 and its opposite end is engageable with portions of the wall of the body 10. The stay rods 14 are'of heavier material than the material or wire from which the body 10 is made, consequently a durable connection between-the rods and the grate 13 is obtained to withstand eXcessive heat and thereby prolong the life of the incinerator. Moreover, under the prescnt arrangement and by virtue of the use of the rods 14 it is possible to replace the grate whenever the occasion arises.

It is to be understood that the invention is not restricted to the precise arrangement 7 of parts shown and described as details of construction may be modified and rearranged without departing from the spirit of the invention, thescope of which is limited only by the terms of the appended said body and secured thereto, stay rods connected to said hoops, a grate supported by said rods, and a cover .hingedly connected to a pair of stay rods JAMES W.
